On the Vancouver Canucks …
Vancouver Canucks: Canucks forward Anton Rodin had knee surgery yesterday and will be out for approximately six months.
“After a period of rest, rehabilitation and follow up consults, our medical staff, Anton and Dr. Miniaci decided that surgery offered the most definitive means to address the health of his knee,” said Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning. “This has been a difficult process for Anton but he is determined to make a complete recovery and has our full support.”
